The VisualRF module provides a real-time picture of the actual radio environment of your wireless network and the
ability to plan the wireless coverage of new sites. To understand what is happening on your wireless network, you
need to know where your users and devices are located, and you need to monitor the RF environment in those areas.
VisualRF puts this information at your fingertips through integrated mapping and location data.
VisualRF uses sophisticated RF fingerprinting to accurately display coverage patterns and calculate the location of
every wireless device in range. Moreover, VisualRF does not require dedicated RF sensors or a costly additional
location appliance - all the necessary information is gathered from your existing wireless access points and controllers.
